Afianna: The Reincarnation Of A Goddess

XLI

The Visit

Third Person's POV

When both moons painted in blood,
When moons collide,
The sky turns darker,
The air turns murkier.
Something will happen
Yo've been warned again, Pherso.

The EYE.

Cold sweat came flowing down Pherso's forehead. He ignored her warning once, and it does not turn out so well. He forgot about it but these days, but one thing he know for sure, it will come back biting him, hard.

He gulped hard when the card changes its content again.

HEED ME THIS TIME, PHERSO.
Or else, everything you've worked hard
Will vanish without you noticing it.
This will be the last warning.
I'm always watching.

He read its content before it burns itself to ashes.

He remembers the words of Gemini that night. He really lost a powerful ally. And he is not even sure if the dragon will agree to help them in the war knowing what he did.

No, he did nothing and that itself is the mistake. He just watch the scene unfold knowing that he was warned once.

These days, he has been locking himself in the room except for meetings about the incoming war or an audience with the royalties who was also panicking about the incoming war.

He cannot show animosity towards the royalties who did not think better when they accuse the student of being a traitor because he too is one of those who hesitated.

The power Afianna shown that night will remain a mystery. How she controls everyone is a very troublesome power if she became an enemy.

Regret is flowing to his every being.

I should have did this...

I should have did that...

He was thinking about that all day yet what was done is done.

He just hope that the students will be able to convince the help of the dragon and he will be a significant fighting force.

Sa kabilang banda naman, sila Gemini, Gelo, Lance, Vanilla, at Carmen ay naglalakbay gamit ang mga hayop panghimpapawid para maibsan ang oras  papunta sa Tuelolo.

Nakasakay sila ngayon sa griffin. Si Gemini ay nakasakay kay Kylo, ang alaga ni Afianna, habang si Vanilla at Carmen ay nasaiisang griffin katulad nila Gelo at Lance.

Isang oras ang nagdaan, mang makita na nila ang bulkan na nagpapahiwatig na malapit na sila sa Tuelolo Village.

Ilang minuto pa ang nagdaan, narating na nila ang malaking tarangkahan ng village at may mga tao na nag-aabang sa kanila.

"Magandang hapon sa inyo." magalang na pagbati ng pinuno sa kanila. "Nakita namin ang inyong sinasakyan malayo pa lamang dito. Maaari bang malaman kung ano ang sadya nila?"

"Tatang, ako ito. Si Gelo." pagpapakilala ni Gelo habang papalapit sa kanila.

"O! Gelo, kamusta kana apo?" Maligayang bati niya sa kanyang apo bago niya ginulo ang buhok ng binata. "Sino nga pala ang mga kasama mo?" tumingin sa likuran ni Gelo ang pinuno at sinuri ang mga kasama niya.

Lumapit si Gelo sa pinuno at bumulong. "Mga may dugong maharlika po mga kasama ko, Tang. Pero huwag mo na pong pansinin dahil ayaw po nila ng atensyon."

"Ahh ganon ba, apo? Hindi mo man lang ipapaalam sa amin ang kanilang mga pangalan?" tanong ng pinuno at tumingin sa kanila Gemini.

"Ako nga po pala si Vanilla." pagpapakilala ni Vanilla. "Siya naman si Carmen." Tinuro niya si Carmen na siyang mahinhing kumaway. "Si Lance." at tumango naman ang binata. "Tapos ang aming leader na si Gemini." at hindi naman nagbago ang ekspresyon sa mukha ni Gemini.
